"Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Whete water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone."
Maya Angelou

Michelangelo is likely who you think of when I say "Sistine Chapel". But the Chapel is much more than just a ceiling. Sandro Botticelli also painted there.

One example is this beautiful fresco on the southern wall entitled "Trials of Moses". (1481-82) 🎨
